What is wrong
INSULATION OF THE ALTERNATOR AND POST WIRES ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES IS INSUFFICIENT; CORROSION MAY DEVELOP DUE TO CONTACT WITH SALT AND SAND USED IN SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL. CORROSION COULD LEAD TO AN ELECTRICAL SHORT BETWEEN THE ALTERNATOR BODY AND POST.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
CORROSION WILL BE REMOVED FROM WIRES AND POSTS, A BRACKET WILL BE INSTALLED, AND A PROTECTIVE COATING OF SILICON GREASE AND UNITROL WILL BE APPLIED.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
